Judges 6:14  The Lord turned to Gideon and said, "Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian's hand. Am I not sending you?"

When we feel ober-busy, the words "go in the strength you have" really register with us, giving us hope and confidence that we can accomplish the multiple tasks that lay before us. We may not feel the strongest we have ever felt, but God has given us the strength we have to do great things.

This verse is also a message from God telling us that he is sending us. He knows the challenges we face and he will not abandon us to go it alone. He has faith in us to carry out the mission he has for us. He knows our capabilities better than we do and, if we run into any trouble, he will be there to get us through it.

In the mornings when we haven't felt much like getting up when the alarm goes off, we simply say to ourselves, "Go in the strength you have." That gets us moving to start the day.
